Professional registration with the Science Council
provides independent recognition of your achievements and maintaining the exact standards required to join the global community of professional scientists.
Much like Historically, especially in academic settings, there has
been an absence of accreditation for technicians translating into a substantive career pathway
Ensuring status & opportunity for technical roles across UK research, teaching & innovation

Registered Science Technician (RSciTech) Award Requirements
Registered Science Technician (RSciTech) is an award to
provide recognition for those working in technical roles.
Candidates will typically be applying knowledge to their roles
that is equivalent to at least QCF level 3. If they also have a qualification at this level or above it will contribute to their applications.
The award provides recognition in its own right but can also be
a springboard to recognition as a Registered Scientist or Chartered Scientist.

Registered Scientist (RSci) Award Requirements Registered Scientist (RSci) is an award to provide recognition for those working in scientific and higher technical roles. Candidates will typically be qualified to at least QCF level 5 and will be applying this knowledge to their roles. It provides recognition in its own right but can also be a springboard to recognition as a Chartered Scientist.
www.sciencecouncil.org
Chartered Scientist (CSci) Award Requirements Chartered Scientist (CSci) is a well established award, with over 12,000 scientists having achieved it since its launch in 2004. Candidates will typically be in senior scientific or managerial roles, qualified to at least QCF level 7 and applying their knowledge in their roles. Chartered status is a well established benchmark across the professions.

What is Chartered Scientist? Chartered Scientist is a professional registration that recognises a high level of skill and experience independent of discipline. It provides recognition for professional practice and experience and thus complements the academic qualifications you might also have. Typically, professionals need to have been working for 4–6 years to achieve this and must either have a Masters level qualification or be able to demonstrate that they are working at this level. Chartered Scientist is accepted for the purposes of Directive 2005/36/EC as a regulated profession with the Science Council appointed as the Competent Authority. The Directive works on the basic principle that an individual fully qualified to practise a regulated profession in one member state should be treated, in principle, as qualified to practise that same profession in another member state
